[Qgis-user] qgis-web-client and updating existing project files

[Niklaas Baudet von Gersdorff]

Hi,

I am wondering, whether there is an elegant way of configuring the
qgis-web-client in a way that it is refreshing (or regenerating) the 
images of a project file on /every/ attempt displaying the corresponding 
project file. This would make testing or experimenting with the desktop 
and web application much much easier. I have already been asking this 
question at [1] but got the answer that I shall try restarting Apache2. 
In fact, this works (I can see the changes I made to a file after an 
update) but, in my opinion, this is not an
elegant solution.

I have also already asked at the IRC channel but haven't had any luck. I 
also did a web search but neither found a solution. I also had a look at 
the documentation of mod_fcgid at [2] but did not find anything 
promising unfortunately. My understanding of Apache2 (and mod_fcgid) is 
also quite limited.

     2: http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html

Can anybody think of a setting in the configuration of Apache2 (or
qgis-web-client) that changes the behaviour of 'caching' or 'buffering' 
(if it is called that way) to not 'cache' or 'buffer' anything at all?

Maybe it is worth mentioning that our Server is running NGINX primarily. 
So I configured a proxy that is forwarding everything to the Apache2 
server listening at 8008. (I am also wondering whether NGINX is caching 
something and I need to change anything there but since it is configured 
acting as a proxy I would suggest that it's not NGINX caching anything 
at all. Since restarting Apache2 leads to refreshing of the generated 
images I am quite sure that it's Apache2 and not NGINX buffering anything.)

Any help is very much appreciated.

All the best,
